As fans of the Harry Potter franchise know, Hufflepuff is the most underrated Hogwarts House. The members of this house aren’t overly brave like Gryffindors, they aren’t brilliant like Ravenclaws, and they aren’t overly ambitious or as cunning as Slytherins-- this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Hufflepuff, which was founded by Helga Hufflepuff, is a house that believes in loyalty, fairness, and hard work. The members of this house have a strong moral code and are seen as the most accepting and inclusive of all four houses. In anime, there are many characters who embody a variety of these traits who would be placed in Hufflepuff.
